Wedding Hairstyles: The Best Options

Choosing the perfect wedding hairstyle can be a challenge. It’s not just about finding a beautiful look on Pinterest – your hair type, face shape, dress style, and many other factors need to be considered. With over 15 years of experience working on weddings in Spain, I’m here to share the best hairstyle options with you.

Where to Start
Begin by discussing your wedding theme with your stylist and showing them your dress. The final choice of hairstyle should complement not only your appearance but also your entire bridal look.

If your dress is already elegant and detailed, you may want to opt for a simpler hairstyle. Seasonality matters too – loose curls may be uncomfortable in summer, but they work wonderfully in the cooler months.

Loose Hair
Loose curls are a favourite for brides with long hair. They’re perfect for light, outdoor weddings and add a soft, romantic touch. This style works well with minimalistic dresses and is great for those with thick, well-groomed hair. If your hair is naturally heavy and smooth, curls will hold well.

Low or High Bun
A bun can elegantly elongate the neck and adds sophistication. The low bun is universally flattering, while the high bun may not suit brides with taller frames as it can visually increase height. Buns work with any dress style, especially for brides with finer hair.

“If you’re taller, a low bun is the best choice as it won’t add extra height. The loose strands framing your face will also give a more sculpted look, which is flattering for those who feel self-conscious about their cheekbones.”

Veils and Hair Accessories
When choosing hair accessories, remember to consider your dress. If your gown is already adorned with decorative elements, go for more minimalist accessories. As for veils, they can be worn with either loose or gathered hair and are typically attached above the hairstyle to allow for easy removal.

Why a Low Bun is a Classic
An open shoulder line and delicate curls framing the face create a timelessly elegant look. The low bun is a versatile choice for almost any bride, offering both grace and sophistication.

Textured Bun
For a more natural, fashionable look, opt for a textured bun where the strands are slightly loose, creating a casual yet chic vibe.

Sleek and Smooth Bun
For brides who want a polished, smooth look, a perfectly neat bun will leave a striking impression. However, achieving this look requires precision, so be sure to work with a stylist who can keep everything in place.

Voluminous Bun
If you're hosting a grand celebration, a voluminous bun with lots of texture is perfect for adding drama and sophistication.
